Initially expecting a straightforward “yes,” Harris was surprised by the article’s nuanced analysis of pop music trends over the past 60 years. It highlights the evolution from doo-wop and rock in the 1950s and 60s to the current incorporation of EDM elements in modern pop. While Harris admits he may not be the best at keeping up with new music, he reflects on his experiences listening to recent Spotify playlists, suggesting that contemporary pop songs still share similarities with their predecessors, leading him to conclude that pop music is not necessarily becoming less melodic.Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/05/pop-music-70-years-hits-songs-magic-short-sharp-tunes
